Introducing: Ask Steph

Life can be hard, and at the moment life is especially hard. We’re all feeling stressed, scared, and a little bit lost.

Some of us are really missing our friends, our teachers, our coaches, those who we could turn to when life got tough, and now we need them more than ever. So, in order to help, we at TSP are delighted to introduce our new service…

Meet Steph!

Steph is our go-to-gal on the topic of mental health. She graduated as a counselling psychotherapist in July 2017 and is super passionate about the mental health and wellbeing of our nation’s girls and young women. Over the past number of years, Steph has provided hundreds of counselling hours to young people across the South-East through her work with Carlow Regional Youth Services, St. Brigid’s Family Resource Centre, and her own private practice. Steph also has a keen interest in writing, and from time to time writes topical articles for TSP.

Tell us more Steph?

Steph is obsessed with animals, fancies herself as a photographer, loves hip-hop beat, and is trained in yoga & meditation. And in her spare time, she also works as a senior operations manager with a global wealth company where she leads and coaches her teams on a daily basis. But no matter which hat she’s wearing, Steph’s goal is the same; to educate, motivate, and inspire, whether that’s speaking with clients or colleagues, researching content, or writing articles.

We’re so happy to share Steph with you all. She gives the best advice, is always the voice of reason, and is one of the kindest people ON EARTH. Look at that face!!

Have a sitch? Need some support? Here’s your direct line to Steph!

You might be dealing with something around school, friendships, family, relationships, career, self-development…whatever it is. We want to hear from you!

Send your questions through, and get personal, tailored advice back. Simples! As the meerkat would say.

To ask Steph for her advice on just about anything send an email to steph@shona.ie. We’ll do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.

Take care everyone!
